Shop by phase

Use the phase as the easiest starting point when you are not sure what to buy yet.

Phase, grade and subject guide

South African school planning is usually organised by phase first, then grade, subject, term, and topic. This guide keeps that structure but explains it in buying language.

Grades R-3

Foundation Phase

Early learning years where children need concrete objects, simple instructions, and short activities.

Common support areas

  • Mathematics support: counting, grouping, shapes, measuring, comparing, patterns
  • Life Skills support: making, sorting, observing, simple classroom activities
  • Literacy support: labels, cards, matching, sequencing, and simple word work where needed

Good pack direction: Best as home packs, maths manipulative classroom packs, teacher demo packs, or small refill packs.

Grades 4-6

Intermediate Phase

The bridge years where learners start doing more structured investigations, projects, and practical topic work.

Common support areas

  • Natural Sciences and Technology (NST): simple investigations, materials, energy, systems, models
  • Mathematics: measuring, fractions, geometry, data handling, practice manipulatives
  • Social Sciences support: map work, timelines, display resources, and project supplies

Good pack direction: Best as NST term packs, per-learner project packs, family/home packs, teacher demo packs, or class packs.

Grades 7-9

Senior Phase

More independent project years where learners often need investigation materials, design supplies, and clear pack quantities.

Common support areas

  • Natural Sciences: investigations, observations, measurement, comparisons, and safety support
  • Technology: design process, structures, systems, models, and PAT-style practical work
  • Mathematics: geometry, measurement, construction, data, and revision manipulatives where useful

Good pack direction: Best as Technology PAT packs, Natural Sciences investigation packs, PPE add-ons, refills, and bulk class kits.

Grades 10-12

FET / High School

Subject-specialist years where schools may need practical support packs rather than general project kits.

Common support areas

  • Physical Sciences support: investigation materials, safety/PPE, demo support
  • Life Sciences support: observation, classification, models, practical classroom materials
  • Technical and practical subjects: build supplies, workshop consumables, class pack support

Good pack direction: Best as school-request packs, teacher demo packs, safety/PPE packs, and practical class supply packs.

Term and topic guidance

The most useful kits are usually tied to a term task, practical topic, investigation, PAT, or class activity. These blocks show how to think about the pack before buying.

Grades 4-6

Intermediate Phase NST term packs

  • Term investigations where learners observe, compare, test, measure, or build a simple model.
  • Structures, materials, energy, systems, living things, and practical topic support.
  • Refill needs such as card, straws, sticks, glue, fasteners, batteries, wire, or measuring items.

Best pack type: Home learner kit, teacher demo pack, per-class NST term pack, or consumable refill.

Grades 7-9

Senior Phase Technology PAT support

  • Design process tasks where learners plan, make, test, improve, and present a model.
  • Structures, mechanical systems, electrical systems, materials, joining, cutting, and finishing.
  • Group projects where each learner or group needs the same core materials.

Best pack type: Technology PAT learner pack, small group pack, class pack, or low-stock quick refill.

Grades 7-9

Senior Phase Natural Sciences investigations

  • Measurement, comparison, observation, controlled practical activities, and classroom demonstrations.
  • Teacher-led investigations where safety, consistent materials, and quick setup matter.
  • PPE and safe handling support where practical science work needs extra care.

Best pack type: Investigation pack, teacher demo pack, PPE pack, or classroom refill.

Grades R-9 starter support

Coding and Robotics unplugged starters

  • Sequencing, patterns, logic, grid movement, simple algorithms, teamwork, and problem solving.
  • No-device activities that help introduce coding ideas before learners use digital tools.
  • Club, classroom, or home activities that need repeatable cards, grids, counters, and task prompts.

Best pack type: Home starter kit, teacher demo pack, or whole-class unplugged activity pack.

Official references and how to use them

This page is informed by the DBE/CAPS phase and subject structure, but Fundi Products is not the Department of Basic Education. These kits are curriculum-linked support materials and project packs. For formal school planning, parents and schools can still check official CAPS, ATP, school circulars, and LTSM references.

Buying for one child?

Start with a per-learner kit or home project kit. It keeps the material list simple and helps avoid running around for small items.

Buying for a whole class?

Use class packs or bulk school supply packs. They are easier for teachers because the pack sizes can match class numbers.

Need a refill only?

Choose consumable refill packs or low-stock quick-refill kits when the base tools are still fine but the class has used up materials.

Need help choosing?

Send the grade, subject, term or topic, number of learners, and deadline. The office can help point you to the right pack type.

For schools and teachers

If you are buying for a class, send the grade, subject, topic, learner count, deadline, and whether you need full kits or refills. The team can prepare a practical quote path for class packs, teacher demo packs, low-stock refills, and safety/PPE add-ons where needed.

Quick questions

Short answers for parents and schools before they choose a kit.

Are these official Department of Education products?

No. They are practical support materials and project kits arranged around common school phases, subjects, terms, and classroom needs.

Can a school request a custom class pack?

Yes. Class packs can be quoted around learner count, topic, pack size, and whether the school needs full kits or consumable refills.

Can I buy only the missing items?

Where practical, refill packs are the best option. They help parents and schools top up common materials without buying a full kit again.

What should I send if I need help?

Send the grade, subject, term or topic, due date, and whether you are buying for one learner, a group, or a whole class.
